Bernstein is the open-source governance layer for AI agents. It runs on policy as code: you write the policy - who may do what, what needs approval, what must be recorded - and Bernstein enforces it and produces the verifiable record. A deterministic scheduler - no model in the coordination loop - runs agents in parallel, gates what they produce, and records every step, so a run can be verified after the fact, offline, from the artifacts alone. CLI coding agents work out of the box (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and 52 more), and the same layer governs any agent workload: the deliverable can be a diff, a research report, a dataset, or an audit evidence pack. Air-gap install profile included. Apache-2.0.
